The Boat House - Water Front, WiFi, Pet Friendly by RedAwning

We have created a fabulous Water Front unit called the Boat House. This little

unit is built right on the deck and has water views from every window.



We have a 65" Large Screen TV with High Speed WiFi. A Queen Size bed, a Twin

Bed and off street parking.



We are also Pet Friendly with a fenced in yard.



The Boat House is built right on the deck overlooking the beautiful waters of

the Chesapeake Bay. And we do mean right on the water. We feature a water

front deck to sit and enjoy the view.



Our single bedroom features two beds - a Queen Size bed and a Twin Size bed.

This unit is perfect for a couple and even a small family of 3. We will allow

a bit of "piling in" if you have younger children, but any additional bedding

or sleeping arrangements will be up to you.



Our kitchen, or kitchenette rather, is small and not designed for cooking

meals. We do not have a stove, but do offer a microwave and small counter top

toaster oven. This is not the place to cook meals but more of a place to

reheat them.



Our bathroom features a stand up shower, toilet and sink. Not big enough for a

bathtub.



We also have a fenced in back yard which will allow for kids and pets to run

and play. We do have off street parking, but it is limited.



We have a combination lock on the door which will allow for easy check

ins/outs on your own.



The waterfront deck can be shared from time to time, but only with other

guests.



** PLEASE PAY ATTENTION - No Parties are allowed or tolerated. We live next

door to this unit and will immediately cancel and evict anything resembling a

party - No "Get Togethers" \- No "Inviting a few friends" \- No "Cookouts" \-

No "friends stopping by for a visit" \- No "Wakes" \- No "Funerals" \- No

"Birthday Parties"!!!!



All cancellations like this will include forfeiture of all payments and

security deposits - NO EXCEPTIONS! **



The dock as pictured is not available. However, the waterfront deck is

available for your relaxation, fishing and entertainment.



The public beach, wide and sandy, is only 3 blocks away. For many this will

be an easy walk, but there is also ample parking available there for those

wishing to drive.



The water front deck can be shared from time to time, but only with other

guests.



Pet Fee is $99 per pet and per stay plus tax and processing fees.



If not disclosed prior to your stay, the pet fee is $300

An Extra Cleaning fee of $99 will be charged to remove pet hair from bedding

or furniture

Completely Misleading and Dangerous

I booked this property for the view, ability to fish off the dock and the fenced in yard for my dog. It cost more than it was worth! The view is littered with broken wood and long rusty nails on the beach. The dock that I was hoping to fish off was littered in the bay in front of the cabin. The once clear and swimmable bay is now completely dangerous and off limits. The outdated pictures show the dock as a highlight. On top of that, the deck has of large broken pieces as well. A child or dog is not safe here! They can run right off of the deck. Even a full sized human could. This place may have once been nice but is now a hazard. If you do have a dog, the fence is not even remotely fenced in. There are no working gates and the fence has a large opening for a human to walk through, let alone an animal or child. The grill mentioned is an old wood grill. Must not have been used in this decade, metal rusted and bricks cracked. May be functional but I don't think it is safe or sanitary. There is also no private bedroom, it is a studio. The bathroom is small for a person who is 5'4. Couldn't wash my head standing in the shower. Bring toilet paper, just in case you arrive after a 6 hour trip and there is none in the house like we did. They offered to bring the next day but decided to come same day later on. The best part of this property is the beach that is 3 blocks away after crossing a busy street with no cross walks. This is not a child or dog friendly environment.

Weekend stay

The only reason we gave them a 3 out of 5 on the check in process is because the rental is a little hard to find, and gps doesn’t take you there. Also you will hear traffic on the highway behind the property at night.

Worked for us!

The little house was cute as pictures showed. It was right on the water as described, we attempted to fish but no bites. There really wasn't a fenced in yard as described though. Both gates were not functioning properly and there were other tenants with dogs that shared the same yard. The only specific issue was the shower drain that we fixed with a 5 dollar bottle of drano. The bathroom was quite tiny but worked for what it was needed for, and understanding this is defined as a boat house too. Our pup could enjoy the deck freely for a bit once we blocked off one side of it. Overall the price was good and we were able enjoy our stay as we visited family in the area for Thanksgiving. Also want to note that the owner was quick to fix the wifi when it randomly went out which we appreciated. Lastly, parking was a bit tight but made it work.
